Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 3 cups Popped popcorn
- 1 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Red and green chocolate candies (e.g., M&M's)
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, mini pretzels, popped popcorn, salted peanuts (if using), and mini marshmallows. Toss gently to mix evenly.
Add the red and green chocolate candies to the bowl and mix again, ensuring they're distributed throughout the mix.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat all the ingredients with the melted chocolate.
Spread the coated mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread it out evenly to allow the chocolate to set.
Let the mix cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the mixture has hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Serve and enjoy your Blizzard Mix as a festive treat or wintertime snack!
